It All Comes Out At The Funeral

Science-fiction legend Arthur C. Clarke is dead at 90. A pretty damn good run, I think, assuming this isn't just a ruse to throw the world off his track as he undergoes brain transfer into a clone body or upload into a supercomputer.

I never knew, though, that it's pretty much known he was gay. (I love his, "At my age, now I'm just a little bit cheerful" line.) That's so cool! Now we can take credit for modern global communications, not just Cher and Madonna!

You make a valid point, Tim. Still, we don't know if he accepted the term personally, but simply chose to be coy publicly, or if he rejected it totally.
